Standard Classification System forRubber Products in Automotive Applications 1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2000; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

This specification has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.

1. Scope

1.1 This classification system tabulates the properties ofvulcanized rubber materials (natural rubber, reclaimed rubber,synthetic rubbers, alone or in combination) that are intendedfor, but not limited to, use in rubber products for automotiveapplications.

NOTE 1—This classification system may serve many of the needs ofother industries in much the same manner as SAE numbered steels. It mustbe remembered, however, that this system is subject to revision whenrequired by automotive needs. It is recommended that the latest revisionalways be used.

1.2 This classification system is based on the premise thatthe properties of all rubber products can be arranged intocharacteristic material designations. These designations aredetermined bytypes,based on resistance to heat aging, andclasses,based on resistance to swelling in oil. Basic levels arethus established which, together with values describing addi-tional requirements, permit complete description of the qualityof all elastomeric materials.

1.3 In all cases where the provisions of this classificationsystem would conflict with those of the detailed specificationsfor a particular product, the latter shall take precedence.

NOTE 2—When the rubber product is to be used for purposes where therequirements are too specific to be completely prescribed by this classi-fication system, it is necessary for the purchaser to consult the supplier inadvance, to establish the appropriate properties, test methods, and speci-fication test limits.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

“line call-out” designation.3.2 This classification system was developed to permit the

addition of descriptive values for future rubber materialswithout complete reorganization of the classification systemand to facilitate the incorporation of future new test methods tokeep pace with changing industry requirements.

4. Type and Class

4.1 The prefix letter “M” shall be used to indicate that theclassification system is based on SI units.

NOTE 3—Call outs not prefixed by the letter M refer to an earlierclassification system based on inch-pound units. This was published ineditions up to 1980.

4.2 Rubber materials shall be designated on the basis oftype(heat resistance) andclass(oil resistance). Type and class areindicated by letter designations as shown in Table 1 and Table2 and illustrated in 9.1.

4.3 Type is based on changes in tensile strength of not morethan630 %, elongation of not more than − 50 %, and hardnessof not more than615 points after heat aging for 70 h at anappropriate temperature. The temperatures at which thesematerials shall be tested for determining type are listed in Table1.

4.4 Class is based on the resistance of the material toswelling in ASTM Oil No. 3 after 70-h immersion at atemperature determined from Table 1, except that a maximumtemperature of 150°C (the upper limit of oil stability) shall beused. Limits of swelling for each class are shown in Table 2.

4.4.1 ASTM No. 2 and No. 3 Oils have been replaced byIRM 902 and 903 Oils, respectively, under Practice D 5964.These Oils are similar but not identical to ASTM No. 2 and No.3 Oils.

4.4.2 Substitutability of IRM 902 and 903 Oils for ASTMNo. 2 and No. 3 Oils has not been established, as their swellingcharacteristics are different and may affect compound classifi-cation.

NOTE 4—The selection of type based on heat resistance is understood tobe indicative of the inherent heat resistance that can be normally expectedfrom commercial compositions. Likewise, choice of class is based on therange of volume swell normally expected from such commercial compo-sitions as established by type.The fact that a type and class of material islisted in Table 6, under Basic Requirements, indicates that materials thatmeet these requirements for heat and oil resistance are commerciallyavailable.

4.5 The letter designations shall always be followed by athree-digit number to specify the hardness and the tensile

strength—for example, 505. The first digit indicates durometerhardness, for example, 5 for 506 5, 6 for 606 5. The next twodigits indicate the minimum tensile strength—for example, 05for 5 MPa, 14 for 14 MPa.Correlation of available materialsfor desired hardness and tensile strength is obtained throughthe elongation values in Table 6.See 7.2.

5. Grade Numbers, Suffix Letters, and Number

5.1 Grade Numbers—Since the basic requirements do notalways describe sufficiently all the necessary qualities, provi-sion is made for deviation or adding requirements through asystem of prefix grade numbers. Grade No. 1 indicates thatonly the basic requirements are compulsory, and no suffixrequirements are permitted. Grades other than No. 1 are usedfor expressing deviation or additional requirements and arelisted as “Available Suffix Grade Numbers” in the last columnunder Basic Requirements in Table 6. A grade number iswritten as a material prefix preceding the letters for type andclass (see 9.1).

5.2 Suffıx Letters—The suffix letters that may be used,together with their meaning, appear in Table 3.

5.3 Suffıx Numbers—Each suffix letter should preferably befollowed by two suffix numbers (see Note 6 in 8.1).The firstsuffıx number always indicates the test method;time of test ispart of the method and is taken from the listings in Table 4.Thesecond suffıx number, if used, always indicates the temperatureof testand is taken from Table 5. Where three-digit numbersare required, they are separated by a dash—for example: –10;B4–10; F1–11.

6. Composition and Manufacture

6.1 This classification system is predicated upon materialsfurnished under a specification based thereon being manufac-tured from natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rubber,alone or in combination, together with added compoundingingredients of such nature and quantity as to produce vulcani-zates that comply with the specified requirements. All materialsand workmanship shall be in accordance with good commer-cial practice, and the resulting product shall be free of porousareas, weak sections, bubbles, foreign matter, or other defectsaffecting serviceability.

6.2 Color—With the exception of FC, FE, FK, and GEmaterials, the values in the material tables are based on blackcompounds and comparable values may not be available incolor.

7. Basic Requirements

7.1 The basic requirements for physical properties specified

in Table 63 are based on values obtained from standardlaboratory test specimens prepared and tested in accordancewith the applicable ASTM test methods.Test results fromspecimens prepared from finished products may not duplicatevalues obtained from standard test specimens.

NOTE 5—When standard test specimens are cut from finished parts inaccordance with Practice D 3183, a deviation to the extent of 10 % (ontensile strength and elongation values only) is permissible when agreedupon by the purchaser and the supplier. This deviation is permissibleonlybecause of the recognized effects of knitting, grain, and buffing on thematerial when test specimens are prepared from finished parts and testedfor tensile strength and elongation. When differences due to the method ofprocessing or to the difficulty in obtaining suitable test specimens from thefinished part arise, the purchaser and the supplier may agree on acceptabledeviations. This can be done by comparing results of standard testspecimens with those obtained on actual parts.

7.2 The available materials are listed in the appropriatematerial section of the table, giving each hardness and tensilestrength with its appropriate elongation value. Also, there is arepetition of the values for the basic heat and oil agingrequirements for the material resulting from the assignment oftype and class. In addition, values for compression set, nor-mally a basic requirement to ensure proper vulcanization, arespecified.

8. Suffix Requirements

8.1 Suffix requirements shall be specifiedonly as neededtodefine qualities necessary to meet service requirements. Thesesuffix requirements are set forth for the various grade numbers.Suffix letters and suffix numbers describing these suffix re-quirements may be used singly or in combination,but not allsuffıx values available for a given material need be specified.

NOTE 6—Examples of the use of suffix letters and numbers would beA14 and EO34. Suffix A (Table 3) stands for heat resistance, Suffix 1(Table 4) specifies that the test be run in accordance with Test MethodD 573 for 70 h, and Suffix A (Table 5) indicates the temperature of test as100°C. Similarly, Suffix EO34 indicates resistance in ASTM Oil No. 3 inaccordance with Test Method D 471 for 70 h at 100°C.4

8.2 Basic requirements are always in effect, unless super-seded by specific suffix requirements in the “line call-out.”
